OK, so you've either got, or are waiting to get an FL2, either way you want this to be your perfect motor ... But in the real world that might not happen, so what do you really like, and what don't you like ???

"I rely on my TomTom Go sat nav for getting me around, I've found a way to mount the TomTom where the factory fit sat-nav would be, this is great since it means you don't have to put the mount on the windscreen which can cause a problem with opportunist thieves."

I mean ambient lighting. Like what you get in the Treg X5 D3 RRS FFRR etc etc. usually found around the rear view mirror two small lights that glow down on dash gear shift area. Fiona |

same happens on my beemer. also, i personally don't like the ambient light on current car that much, so the lack of it doesn't upset me much. thanks! 2007 Freelander 2 HSE i6 stornoway grey black leather |

Cyberhusky & John-Boy, if you take a look in the gallery you'll see there is an album in my name 'avtur'. There is a picture that shows my TomTomGo 300 sitting in the dash of the GS. In the 'cubby hole' (where the factory sat-nav would be fitted) there is a rubber pad at the bottom, simply lift it up a little and pull it out about an inch, it creates a very neat ledge for the TomTom to sit on. Pplace the TomTom on the ledge and give it just the slightest push into the the cubby and there it stays. Have covered about 450 miles like this no problems! This saves using the windscreen mount which then leaves the tell tale circles on the windscreen which car thieves then see and know you have a sat-nav ... |

I know but it's true rust but only on the locking nut and only on the surface a wee polish and it will come off Fiona |

OK, so I've had the car just one week. I just can't rid of this insane ear to ear grin each time I get behind the wheel !!! And I've done that a few times already, 7 days and 1250 miles !! I just love driving this car, I've covered over 800 miles on the motorways, staying legal most of the time, it's a lovely cruiser. It's been off road and got its feet dirty. Its covered a good few miles in the snow passing loads of motors that were either stuck or abandoned. Not bad for it's first week, I hope every week is just as good ... Oh and the fuel consumption, one trip 400 miles computer indicated 38.3mpg and another trip 510 miles 37.9 (OK mostly m'way miles but still good!) |
